Best decision I ever made

The non-judgmental way in which the staff dealt with my enquiry and the help they gave me meant that a weight was lifted off my shoulders straight away. I no longer worry about receiving letters from debtors and know that my monthly payments are fair and affordable. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022

Life saving

I finally plucked up the courage to contact Stepchange after my business failed and my debts spiralled out of control. They spoke to me in a calm, non-patronising way and encouraged me to admit all my debt. They put me on an affordable DMP that has genuinely been a life saver. I’m still in debt but it no longer keeps me awake at night or leaves me that stressed out I can’t think straight. Thankyou so much Stepchange. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022

Friendly, supportive and impartial advice

Since I started my debt management plan in 2019, Stepchange have been the most supportive company you could ask for. They're extremely fair, you don't feel judged and a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. I can now sleep at night knowing my debt is under control and honestly, I feel free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, if you're struggling even with 1 payment give them a call. I cried with relief. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022

Amazing

Absolute life savers, can’t thank them enough. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022

I can not explain the feeling of being able to share my debt problems with somebody. To make it even better everyone that helped me at Stepchange was truly amazing, kind and supportive.

I kept my debt problems a secret for a long time and unfortunately suffered because of it. I looked online for help and came across Step change. I built up the courage to call and I'm so pleased I did ! I was very upset when I first started to explain and the support I received was life changing for me. Once I realised I wasn't trapped and always had someone on the line to talk to I felt like a different person. The staff were all clearly highly trained and so kind and reassuring, honestly I cannot thank Stepchange enough! Reviewed on: 28th July 2022

Saved our family from spiraling

After having two children close together and having to leave employment to live off one wage, my family were in a very tricky spot. Step change saved us from spiraling and now we can carry on living comfortably and carefully whilst not having to worry about debt collectors or getting into more debt, all of this was for free and the help is extremely appreciated. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022
